Maverick Jets Made Aviation History!
Maverick Jets built, flew, and sold the world’s first very light weight personal jets, the LeaderJETS. They were called LeaderJETS because they were the first to lead the aviation world in very light weight personal jets.
Legendary WWII Ace pilot, Bob Hoover, who was shot down in war over Europe and escaped, is a United States Air Force test pilot and most famous as an air show stunt pilot. Bob made a special cross county trip to our Maverick Jets headquarters in Florida to study and fly the Maverick LeaderJET. Hoover spent three days studying and flying the LeaderJET and put it through test flights that most test pilots would never considered doing. After three days Hoover walked out of the Maverick hanger and into the Maverick President’s office and said, “Young man, you don’t realize what you have here. This is a fantastic jet. The world needs to know about Maverick Jets!”
And so the world began to discover Maverick Jets and our amazing firsts in the world of aviation. In the late 1990’s Maverick Jets began selling the LeaderJETS to customers internationally. The LeaderJET 
was very light weight, all carbon fiber, under 5,000 pounds, flew with a single pilot and four passengers. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, Maverick’s LeaderJET was featured in many aircraft magazines, international media, television documentaries featured repeatedly on the Discovery Channel, History Channel, Wealth Channel and major news and media outlets around the world.
The creative boutique Maverick team felt very humbled and really amazed to receive such international acclaim. But Maverick Jets had now made aviation history. The Wright Brothers may have built the first plane, but the Maverick team built the first very light weight personal jet. When international aviation legend Bob Hoover, endorsed and praised Maverick Jets president McCotter and his team, McCotter said, “Hoover’s praise is the frosting on the cake.” Hoover went on live camera with McCotter, praising Maverick Jets for its breakthrough in the Personal Jet world.

After years of experience, Maverick Jets retired its LeaderJET to quietly work on a revolutionary new Personal Jet unlike the world has ever seen. We combined all of this experience with the most advanced military and space age technology to now create a whole new world for air travel in the Personal Jet world.
